Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA FutureC
Cowing should have been long gone. The Jets pounced, and earned a B-.

When a board-topper like Jacob Cowing slides to the 255th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Jets did not.

They will need Fiske to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 11 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at pick 51 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They jumped the gun on Zak Zinter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111 Rnd4 James Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, James Williams a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kamal Hadden at pick No. 189. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick232 Rnd7 Montrell Johnson Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Montrell Johnson Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jacob Cowing
The board fumbled Jacob Cowing all the way to the 255th pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256 Rnd7 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in the 256th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
